Shining Dragon ascends to the next level of magnitude! The leviathan deity of the chaotic seas emerges to wreak destruction—it's his name, after all! Constellation Spirits are returning in full force! And an army of small Ruby Spirits from every anime season so far gather to break the rules on deckbuilding?!

These are mere highlights of what you'll expect to see in Battle Spirits' twenty-first expansion set, BLADE'S EDGE SAGA, Chapter III ~Shining Storm: Radiant Sword Warriors~ [剣刃編第三章「光輝剣武」KENJINHEN (Tsurugi-hen), Daisanshou: "Kouki Kenbu (Shainingu-Sutoomu)"], a 92-card set (46 Commons/18 Uncommons/12 Rares/8 Master Rares/6 X-Rare Spirits/2 X-Rare Sword Braves) released 08 March 2013. All new Diamond and Sapphire Sword Braves will make their debut in this set, as well as a series of X-Rares with super-strong effects. As it is barely a week after the set's release as of this post, not all information will be available at this time (plus I'm somewhat busy in trying to get a job); expect future updates to happen as soon as possible. Please enjoy the new set.

I completed the set in less than a month! HUZZAH! And, apparently true to form, Darkness Rush cards again heavily outnumber Light Charge cards. Looking ahead to what's next, with Tsurugi about to start using a new Darkness deck and rival character Yaiba getting a new ace Spirit by the next expansion set (and even the set's title itself), this trend doesn't look like it will change anytime soon... Good grief...

For more info on Tsurugi's new deck, please see my DARKNESS FANG translation posts. Check back here later this Spring for Yaiba's new trump card and the fourth chapter in the Blade's Edge Saga, where Light Emerald cards and Darkness Topaz cards get major support! In the meantime, I gotta get back to work on Set 15 and beyond. See you next set!
